If there is a new coach at lamar


Recommended Posts

I will let the cat out of the bag.  It will take one of two things happening for us to have a new coach next year.  If Rod Strickland becomes the head coach at Depaul then Roc is gone to Kentucky.  If Tony Barbee becomes the head coach at Depaul Rod Strickland will likely become his top assistant.  Bottom line is Roc has realized had he stayed at Memphis with Cal he would be the head coach there now.  If Strickland leaves Kentucky that will open up an assistants job and Roc will take it.  If that indeed happens look for Alvin Brooks, and Rodney Terry(Current Texas assistant) to be in the running for the job.  By the way.....I love the Quinn Snyder suggestion. I think he would be a home run!

Are you kidding?? Quinn Snyder???  NO NO NO NO.  That guy was a disaster at Missouri.  Alvin Brooks?  Wasn't he a disaster at UH?  Never heard of Rodney Terry.  As for Snyder and Brooks, I would prefer NOT to hire someone that's already proven they can't coach.  Even though I love Brooks.  Man, what a point guard!!  I guarantee you he could still school anyone we have on campus.  I wonder if he has any eligibility left?

Rodney Terry is only one of the better assistance in the country.  He has been on the radar for a head job for about three years now and I think he is reaching for something higher than LU.... Snyder is a good X's and O's coach with a young style.  He is not big 12 material but would be really good in the Southland...

Snyder was a suggestion that I simply agree with.  He was hardly a disaster at Missouri.  126-91 in his time there include 4 straight NCAA appearances including an elite 8.  That is not a disaster.  He did do some things that were frowned upon but a second chance for a guy like this could work. 

As for the other stuff with Brooks and Terry.......I am just telling you the things that I KNOW are going on.  That's it.  Not my ideas.

Terry is interested in Lamar and I know that for a fact.

Although, I will admit he was more successful than I thought he was.

How about Billy Gillispie?  No, seriously, I'm not joking.  If he ever intends to coach again at a major school, he needs to revive his career.  Hopefully he has gotten his life in order, and I think Lamar would be a fresh start.

I would love Gillespie but I think he will get bigger offers.

[font=Courier]Brooks? LOL...inherited a Foster team @ UH and nearly wrecked that program.[/font]

I laughed when I heard this as well.  Fact is LU is intersted in him sadly enough.  I hate to say I wouldn't expect it but I do!

I have mixed feelings about losing Roc because the odds are they'll hire the wrong coach again and the cycle will start all over again.
